BC Turf Industry Overview
Turfgrass sod is a mature grass cover that is
produced in an intensively managed agricultural operation,
removed intact with a minimum amount of soil and transplanted
in another location to form an instant turf cover. The primary
market for sod production in British Columbia is in the
housing industry.
Two-thirds of the sod in BC is grown in the Lower Mainland,
on Vancouver Island and in the Okanagan. In part, this is
because sod is used primarily for new housing. There are other
isolated farms throughout the province.
